There’s an old saying that goes something like this: “You can’t choose your family. You take what fate hands you.” We can’t argue that this isn’t true, but this Thanksgiving we wondered what a holiday dinner would be like if we chose the guests. Here are our picks:

1. Bay Harbor Butcher: Every holiday meal needs a main course and our Thanksgiving feast is no exception. We know we can always count on the Bay Harbor Butcher to bring a selection of exotic meats. Who needs turkey anyway?

2. Babar-ian: We all know holiday gatherings can get rowdy, so we’re calling in the Babar-ian for crowd control. No fight stands a chance. 

3. The Van Buren Boys: What’s the quickest way to score street cred? Invite NYC’s toughest street gang over for dinner.

4. Yoshi Sushi: Appetizer anyone?

5. Game of Thrones Cast: We want to settle the quest to the throne once and for all…with a card game.

6. Power Walking Dead: Exercise aids post-meal digestion and these guys sure know how to lead an invigorating power walking session.

7. Rambro: There’s one in every family.

8. Dirty Harry Potter: In case our cooking fails, we’ll need someone who’s good with spells and broom sticks to whip up a new meal.

9. Whino: Everyone knows Rhinos are certified sommeliers.

10. Vamonos Pest: Cleaning up your house before company comes is polite. These guys will get the job done and get those pests out before anyone else arrives and for that, they deserve a seat at the dinner table. Don’t you think?

How about you? Who would you invite to share Thanksgiving dinner with you?
